Congratulations to  Irvin Poke, AIA, director of the State of Michigan's Bureau of Construction Codes (BCC) on his upcoming retirement. In 2007, Irv received the prestigious AIA Michigan President's Award in recognition of his outstanding contribution and service to the profession of architecture. Irv has been a long-standing member of the International Code Council (ICC) , and BOCA International. He has served on the ICC Code Development committees for International Performance Building Code, the International Building Code-General in 2002, and 2003-2004 code cycles. He also served on the BOCA Education and Training Committee and the Structural Loads Committee. In 1996, Irv was appointed to the ICC Performance Code Committee representing BOCA a nd the state of Michigan. He chaired the subcommittee responsible for writing draft sections for Egress, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, and Interior Environment. He is also a technical training instructor for state and local government code officials. Irv's accomplishments are too many to list here!
